Extremely charming life

"Grandpa Li, I was just joking, it's too precious, I can't take it." Lan Xiaoran glanced at Gao Shaoyu, then got up quickly and shook his hands.

"No matter what is good or bad, I will never take it back." Mr. Li shook his head and said stubbornly.

"Blue girl, don't think that the things he gave are precious. You were still young at the time. The jade bracelet I gave you back then is no less valuable than his eighteen Bodhisattva bracelet." joked.

"Grandpa Sun, Xiao Ran knows he's wrong, so don't make fun of me." Lan Xiaoran blushed in embarrassment, and her dialect was incomparable, which made people feel lost.

The two old men were fine, but Li Jian panicked a little.

"Haha, let Shaoyu and Li Jian talk about it separately, and let the disciples of the younger generation look at each other." Sun Lao raised his hand before smiling.

"Brother Li comes first." Gao Shaoyu cupped his hands and said.

"Then I'll make a fool of myself." Li Jian got up and walked over, and took the eighteen Bodhisattva bracelet. In fact, he didn't need to look at it. He also knew the preciousness of this item. After all, it was something worn by his grandfather. As a grandson, how could he May not know.

"Eighteen bodhi seed bracelets, there are many on the market, generally used as accessories for believing in Buddha and repaying destiny. The whole is vajra seed, asura seed, golden silk bodhi seed, longan bodhi, unicorn eye bodhi, star moon bodhi, longan bodhi , Tongtianyan Bodhi, White Bodhi Root, Muyuguo, Yuanbao Bodhi, Golden Buddha Beads, Five Eyes and Six Connections, Lotus Seat, etc., are composed of 18 bodhi seeds. It is almost impossible to get a bodhi seed with the imprint that has been invaded, which also leads to the preciousness of the bodhi bead bracelet, which will have a great source."

"Wearing eighteen bodhi bracelets can protect the body from evil and increase the blessings of the wearer. Bodhi has the power to destroy all evil, can increase blessings and wisdom, help enlightenment, protect practice, and help the growth of all good things. It means that all evil laws will not arise." Li Jian said with a smile.

"It seems to be the same as taking Guanyin." Lan Xiaoran said in surprise.

"That's right, but Avalokitesvara is just a thought, but Bodhi really has this thing, and there is a greater meaning in it." Li Jian nodded and said, indicating that Gao Shaoyu will talk about it next.

Elder Li and Elder Sun both nodded and looked at Gao Shaoyu with smiles.

"Brother Li really gave me a big test, so I'll make a fool of myself." Gao Shaoyu said with a smile, but he also admired Li Jian for being able to name the eighteen bodhisattvas one by one. He has real skills.

"I'm just throwing bricks and stones to attract jade, and Brother Gao will tell you the final word." Li Jian handed over the Eighteen Bodhi Bead Bracelet and walked back to his seat with a smile on his face.

"Okay." Gao Shaoyu took the bodhi bead bracelet, pondered for a moment and finally said: "The reason why this bracelet has eighteen beads is the biggest mystery of it."

"Eighteen?" Lan Xiaoran murmured, no matter how good she was to let her study, but her views on things like antiques were still much weaker, and she didn't say anything for a long time.

Gao Shaoyu glanced at the two elders, finally nodded and said: "The bodhi bead bracelet combines eighteen kinds of bodhi energy and merits in one body, and doubles the practice, so Buddhism highly respects the bodhi bead bracelet, which is considered to be the incarnation of Buddha's mind and will. Avalokitesvara is much stronger, after all, Avalokitesvara is just everyone's thoughts, no one has actually seen it, but the Bodhisattva was actually worn by the Buddha and has been passed down."

"That's right. It is said that the bracelet worn by the Buddha Sakyamuni was born. I was lucky enough to see its birth." Elder Sun nodded and said.

"Old man Sun, are you talking about the Nalanda Temple in India?" Mr. Li was startled suddenly, but then he showed regret and sighed: "I didn't go there that time, I really missed my chance."

"The Eighteen Bodhi Bead Bracelet unearthed from Nalanda Temple is said to have been worn by the Buddha. It has survived for at least a thousand years. Once it is taken out, it still emits a dazzling aura. There will be a Zen sound resounding in the sky above Lingyun. The sound of rolling, the appearance of a Buddha statue, such a wonderful scene, it is hard to believe that there will be such a miracle if you don't go to the place." Sun Lao couldn't help but sighed, saying this, his body seemed to be The feeling of a ray of light flying out gave people a very peaceful and quiet feeling.

"Old man Sun, it seems that you got a lot of benefits last time." Elder Li said a little jealously.

"Haha, I got some Zen utensils, which were gifted to me by the local religion in India." Elder Sun said proudly, seeming to annoy Elder Li on purpose.

"Huh! Worshiping foreigners." Li Lao snorted, and the two sixty-year-old elders even started bickering, which surprised the five young people present.

"Okay, Shaoyu, please tell me first, don't be spoiled by old man Li's little belly." Old Sun laughed.

"Old man Sun, have you forgotten the last time, but you..." Mr. Li suddenly rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

"Stop, stop, let's talk about our business later." Sun Lao suddenly lost his composure, and immediately stared at him as if he was going to be anxious.

"Haha." Mr. Li seemed to have turned the corner, and Nian Xu calmly waved his hand to let Gao Shaoyu continue talking.

Old Sun snorted angrily, and turned his head away from looking at Old Li.

Gao Shaoyu smiled wryly, but he still said: "The eighteen particles of the eighteen bodhi beads bracelet have the same meaning as the one hundred and eight particles. The so-called "eighteen" here refers to the "eighteen realms", that is, six roots, six Dust, six senses."

"The six roots refer to: the eye realm, the ear realm, the nose realm, the tongue realm, the body realm, and the mind realm. The six dusts refer to: color dust, sound dust, fragrance dust, taste dust, touch dust, and dharma dust. Six senses refer to : Eye consciousness, ear time, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness, consciousness." Gao Shaoyu continued.

"Bodhi seeds can not only drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, but also bring luck and auspiciousness to the owner. They can also make people feel at ease and always keep clean. Natural wood has unique inner beauty and power, as if every piece has vitality and is closely connected with you. People are deeply intoxicated by it, and they can’t put it down.”

"Yes, it seems that your foundation is also very solid, you can understand so much, young people are already very good." Mr. Li nodded with a smile, pointed to the bracelet and said: "Then you can tell, my bracelet Is it different from other bodhi bead bracelets?"

"Old man Li, your test will be difficult." Old Sun said dissatisfied.

"Just to talk about it, if you can't say it, it can be considered that Shaoyu has passed the test." Old Li looked at Gao Shaoyu, nodded with a smile and said.

"The junior will dare to talk about it." Gao Shaoyu nodded. "Mr. Li's bracelet, each piece of bodhi feels heavy, and it is definitely not made up. It is obvious from it that there is a breath of historical accumulation and passing. It should be an antique. It is difficult to preserve antiques like bracelets. Only by wearing it can the harmony of color, texture and hardness be maintained."

"That's right, it's old." Mr. Li nodded.

"Huh." Gao Shaoyu directly took out the convex mirror from his pocket, put it close to his eyes, stared at the bodhi bead bracelet, and suddenly said in surprise.
